Not sure how long it has been like this but I just noticed that the $49.99 200GB plan has been updated so that it's no longer split into peak/off peak.

It used to be (100GB+100GB) but it is now just a single 200GB monthly usage quota.

Considering I hardly ever use off peak, this doubles my usage. I'm sure it's the same with others. The last post regarding this particular plan was for the upgrade in the usage quota (back in September) so I thought I'd just post this seeing as it hasn't already been posted.

    As you allude to, this deal isn't new. Just keep in mind that this plan includes uploads.

      Yer not the best plan for the P2P users out there.

      • danielz on 15/01/2011 - 22:25

        coupled with that $5 p/m unlimited usenet subscription this is fine for me ;)

        • covert on 17/01/2011 - 09:17

          Who are you using at $5 p/m. I pay $10 for Astraweb.

    • manbearpig on 15/01/2011 - 19:48

      Correct but it has included uploads for the past few upgrades/updates now. Mainly posted this for those already on the plan who would know it includes uploads.

      • Mossy on 15/01/2011 - 21:47

        Yeah it changed to this current form in October 2010, this "deal" is so last year :-)

  • Aap Ke Papa on 15/01/2011 - 19:29

    can the people on an existing contract for the same plan upgrade to this plan without renewing the contract?

  • pennyless on 15/01/2011 - 19:29

    This was mentioned a while back and I promptly changed my plan, if only they'd stop counting the uploads like the previous plan…… can't have it all.

    • aacheney on 15/01/2011 - 19:31

      try the unlimited plan that works for me.

    • manbearpig on 15/01/2011 - 19:51

      Apparently this plan was updated last month. Though I can't see where it was mentioned on ozbargain, because otherwise I would have updated straight away too.

  • aboutconfig on 15/01/2011 - 19:35

    This has the upload counted.
    Missed the 49.99 150GB no upload count plan, so I'm still on ADSL2+/100GB-2, will upgrade to 59.99 unlimited soon.

    • Steptoe on 15/01/2011 - 21:01

      Best it got was 90+90 not including uploads.

      Wish they would offer all plans to everyone. Can't get the Unlimited plan at my exchange :(

  • markis on 15/01/2011 - 19:37

    Had this one for 3 months and it's doing my family well

    If you aren't using all your OffPeak, get yourself a copy of a program called jdownloader. It allows you to cue your downloads and have them automatically scheduled during offpeak times.

    Use it for your downloads, leaving your normal peak time for normal internet stuff… but be aware that the Captcha used on most download sites will cause it to fail. Pay $10/mth for a premium account at somewhere like MegaUpload or Rapidshare and that problem goes away.

    This is the only way I can possibly use all of my Optus 120GB plan's bandwidth.

    • Mossy on 15/01/2011 - 21:50

      Sounds like you just arent trying hard enough!

      • llama on 15/01/2011 - 22:11

        LOL yeah, I guess so - my life keeps getting in the way of my downloading :-(

        Using a download manager (no matter which one) is a much easier way.

        PS: the Optus plan I'm on is 50 peak and 70 offpeak (midnight to noon). Can't sit up all night, and gotta go to work in the mornings.

        • Mossy on 16/01/2011 - 09:29

          1 word, scheduler. utorrent has one built in, I think most do.

    • IVI on 18/01/2011 - 01:10

      Someone showed us a (free) program, MiPony, which guesses Captcha's… often correctly. YMMV.

  • epicaricacy on 15/01/2011 - 20:55

    Great deal… but does not include the off-net plans (ie - where they do not have their own dslams in the exchange)

    Oh - and better than paying something like $10 for rapidshare per month - get a newsgroup account. I beleive thundernews was $5 (US) pm on here recently…

    Then use flashget or altbinz for scheduling…

    How to download so many open source books and non-copyright songs though… :-)

  • c64 on 15/01/2011 - 21:33

    is this really a deal? it is just everyday pricing.

  • ComfortablyNumb on 15/01/2011 - 22:01

    I upgraded in December, been happy ever since!

  • bohn on 15/01/2011 - 23:40

    I would rather iinet 100/100 for 49.95.

    IMO iinet > tpg YMMV

    • backslashio on 16/01/2011 - 03:49
      +3

      Its $79.95 for that iinet plan unless you actually want their default option of an additional $30/month phone plan bundle

  • bibiphok on 15/01/2011 - 23:53

    Add an extra $10 for unlimited, makes things easier if you download a lot

  • nemo1990 on 16/01/2011 - 00:24

    Do I need to have a home phone line to get ADSL2? I don't use home phone at all.

    • proringz on 16/01/2011 - 00:41

      Nah you can get 'naked' ADSL2 without phone line rental and yes, TPG do provide this service.

      • nemo1990 on 16/01/2011 - 11:05

        Thanks Proringz. But can I get this exact plan at this price as 'naked'? Or are there special 'naked
        plans?

        • proringz on 16/01/2011 - 13:57

          There are separate naked plans at a $10 premium.

        • [Deactivated] on 17/01/2011 - 21:00

          Just get the TPG $30 homeline + $29.95 unlimited ADSL 2+

  • proringz on 16/01/2011 - 00:39

    Yeah I was checking the TPG website about a month ago and realised the plan was changed to this. Upgraded straight away.

  • heatseeker424 on 16/01/2011 - 02:13

    Thank god I changed to an off-net plan before they started counting uploads. I'm on the 200GB (100+100GB) and in the past 2 months since I've changed I've downloaded 191GB and uploaded 141GB in torrents alone!

    • Colombian on 16/01/2011 - 08:35

      how you do that? I'm with iinet and don't have any problems with torrents but a friend in sydney with TPG can't download anything because he gets the email from those companies we know.

      • Mossy on 16/01/2011 - 09:10
        +3

        This is not the forum for that sort of thing, but, sounds like while he is on the peer to PEER network, he isn't BLOCKing bad ips………….

        • heatseeker424 on 16/01/2011 - 09:59

          Yeah, but even with blocking I got an email from a certain 'torch lady'. It was an Australian film too, which I planned to buy once it came out on disc. Not anymore!

  • adriancfc on 16/01/2011 - 09:00

    Thanks for bringing this up, I am on the $49.99 plan with Peak/Off Peak 200GB and just found about this. I don't upload much and never downloading on off peak hours so this plan suits me perfectly. Good stuff !!!

  • riviera on 16/01/2011 - 09:01

    as others said…this plan has been around since Oct 2010. :)

    So yeah, you are 3 months late :P

    • manbearpig on 16/01/2011 - 12:35

      That doesn't really help people like myself. Why didn't you post it 3 months ago then? -_- I would have appreciated it if someone had..

      As I said, I only just found out about this since no one had posted it so I'm just spreading the word to the others out there. It's what ozbargainers are meant to do. Better late than never. Whenever this particular bundles sees updates there are always posts for it so I'm surprised no one posted it, considering how many of you have known it's been like this since October..

      • Mossy on 16/01/2011 - 19:20

        Yeah it was mentioned here (bullet 3) http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/32990 when TPG change something, they usually tweak all plans.

        Its always been the $49 plan, the specs change a bit, not really a bargain though, normal price.

        This is Ozbargain, not Oznormaleverydayprice :-)

  • Shonda on 16/01/2011 - 09:28

    what is the right way to upgrade to this plan, as I am on (200GB) with peak/off peak ?
    Cheers

    • Mossy on 16/01/2011 - 09:33

      Log into your tpg account, under ADSL Account Management choose Change Your Plan, follow the steps.

      You get 1 change a month and the last few times I did it: "does not cost you if the monthly fee is the same or higher. Does not restart contract."

      • Shonda on 16/01/2011 - 10:29

        cool, Thank you
        Done

  • MementoMori on 16/01/2011 - 11:19

  • lyonesse9 on 16/01/2011 - 12:30

    thanks!! just upgraded mine from old $49 plan 130gb to this one.

  • cwongtech on 16/01/2011 - 13:20

    There is no reason to get "naked" internet.

    Check out the TPG with Phone Line deals, much better value and you get a free phone line to call 000 on and even make regular calls if you aren't using voip.

  • MementoMori on 16/01/2011 - 21:13

    Yeah pity I joined before they released the awesome plans and they don't support transfer between the two.

  • voiper99 on 17/01/2011 - 09:02

    Thanks for the info!

    I just checked my 20GB/20GB Naked plan and it is now: Naked ADSL2+/40GB

    woo hoo :))
